[0024] Research has revealed that existing printing presses use the same drive module in the X, Y, Z, and T axis directions, which is not flexible enough in multi-axis directions and makes it difficult to adapt to printing on dual half-cell batteries.

[0025] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a multi-axis motion printing machine. For two multi-axis drive mechanisms, the movement of the corresponding multi-axis drive mechanisms in the X, Y, Z, and T axis directions is controlled by independent drive motors to move the screen printing module along the X, Y, Z, and T axis directions respectively, so that the two multi-axis drive mechanisms can operate synchronously or be driven independently, making the whole machine more flexible.

[0026] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, before starting the printing of the dual-half-cell batteries, the operator places at least two dual-half-cell batteries on the upper surface of the dual-half-cell turntable 2, and then... Figure 1It is known that the upper surface of the double half-cell turntable 2 is provided with at least 8 placement stations. Then, the rotary motor 20 is started, and its output end drives the double half-cell turntable 2 to rotate, rotating the double half-cell battery 3 to the bottom of the two screen printing modules 4. The screen printing module 4 includes a screen printing protective shell 41 and a screen printing frame 40. The screen printing squeegee in the screen printing protective shell 41 is used to perform printing processing on the surface of the double half-cell battery 3.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wide gantry 101 and the narrow gantry 100 are located on both sides of the screen printing frame 40. When it is necessary to control the screen printing frame 40 to move along the Y-axis, the operator starts the Y-axis drive motor 10a, whose output end drives the Y-axis lead screw 10b to rotate, thereby driving the support member 10c that is threadedly engaged with the Y-axis lead screw 10b to move along the Y-axis. There are two support members 10c, which are slidably connected to the wide gantry 101 and the narrow gantry 100 respectively. The screen printing frame 40 is placed between the upper surfaces of the two support members 10c. At this time, the screen printing frame 40 moves with the two support members 10c to adjust the position of the screen printing frame 40 in the Y-axis direction. Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that both the wide gantry 101 and the narrow gantry 100 are fixed to the upper surface of the Z-axis support platform 121. At this time, the Z-axis drive motor 110 is started, and its output end drives the Z-axis lead screw 122 to rotate, thereby controlling the Z-axis support platform 121 to slide on the upper surface of the X-axis support platform 112, thereby adjusting the position of the screen printing frame 40 in the Z-axis direction. In the X-axis direction, when the X-axis drive motor 110 is started, its output end drives the X-axis lead screw 111 to rotate, thereby controlling the X-axis support platform 112, which is threadedly connected to the X-axis lead screw 111, to move along the X-axis direction, thereby adjusting the position of the screen printing frame 40 in the X-axis direction.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and 5As shown, when the dual half-cell battery 3 is rotated to the processing position, in accordance with the above description, by controlling the screen printing frame 40 to move in the X, Y, and Z directions, the screen printing frame 40 is finally moved above the dual half-cell battery 3. Before starting the processing of the dual half-cell battery 3, the angle of the dual half-cell battery 3 needs to be finely adjusted. At this time, the T-axis driver 130 is activated, and its output end drives the T-axis drive rod 136 to move along the axis of the T-axis drive rod 136, thereby driving the connecting piece 131 sleeved on the T-axis drive rod 136 to move. As shown in the figure, the connecting piece 131 and the rotating plate 133 are connected by the rotating piece 132. The rotating part 132 is connected to the connecting part 131 by a bearing, and the lower end face of the rotating plate 133 is fixed to the sliding block 135. At this time, as the connecting part 131 moves linearly, it drives the rotating plate 133 to move. The two sliding blocks 135 are subjected to force to slide on the rotating track 134. The rotating track 134 is arc-shaped. At this time, the rotating plate 133 is rotated and finely adjusted to be directly above the double half-cell battery 3. Using the Y-axis drive mechanism, the rotating plate 133 is moved down to fit the corresponding double half-cell battery 3. Then, it is finely adjusted and reset to adjust the double half-cell battery 3 to a suitable processing angle for the screen printing squeegee in the screen printing protective shell 41.

[0032] It should be noted that the screen printing squeegee used for processing inside the screen printing protective shell 41 and the drive source for driving the squeegee are both existing technologies, not shown in the attached drawings, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment.

[0035] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0036] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.

[0037] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
